The U.S. Secret Service is under review after a batch of newly released documents revealed that a special agent was accused in 2012 of using a date-rape drug to molest boys.

The revelation, stemming from a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, raised questions about whether the Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security, which oversees it, as well as its investigative arm, took sufficient action when confronted with the allegations.

In addition to the allegations involving the special agent, a separate document obtained by the Washington Examiner referenced another employee from a different division who had also been accused of child molestation.

The new revelations come at a time when the agency is struggling to overcome scandals, including one in which agents hired prostitutes during a presidential trip to Colombia.

The Secret Service has spent years trying to repair its reputation and improve discipline, but the new revelations about child abuse prompt attorneys who specialize in federal employment law to question the agency’s willingness to hold agents accountable for serious crimes.

“From a reading of what is publicly available to me, it appears that the U.S. Secret Service does not wish to be held accountable for how it treats its employees accused of serious crimes against children involving sexual misconduct and/or drugs,” Cheri Cannon, a partner at federal employment law firm Tully Rinckey told the Washington Examiner.

“The Secret Service should be transparent in how it treats such persons, within the confines of federal privacy laws,” she said. “Not responding at all or ignoring the situation is not responding within the bounds of federal privacy laws, but appears to be an effort to protect the agency from any allegation of a cover up of serious criminal activity.”

Bracing for renewed criticism, the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, the union that represents the Secret Service, released a statement earlier this week saying, “the Secret Service is comprised of humans who sometimes err, but isolated mistakes do not undefine the agency’s legacy of honor.”

The latest child sex abuse issue goes back to the fall of 2012, when Department of Homeland Security investigators were looking into a Denver-based special agent accused of child molestation, according to one document, a “memorandum of activity” from the DHS Office of Inspector General (OIG). When investigators ran the agent’s name through a federal database, they found that the same person had been flagged by Customs and Border Protection a year earlier for trying to send himself a date-rape drug through the mail.

Customs and Border Protection officers at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York found the package containing the drug in 2011 and confiscated it before it reached the agent, according to the memo, and entered his name into an internal DHS law enforcement database. The document was redacted to exclude the agent’s name.

The date-rape drug is gamma-hydroxybutyric acid, or GHB, which the memo notes is “used as a recreational drug and is linked to drug-assisted sexual assaults.” Under U.S. law, the drug is a List 1 chemical, which it is illegal to import.

Five days after OIG officers in Denver discovered the agent’s name in the database, he was sent to Washington, D.C., for questioning, where he admitted sleeping with a juvenile at his home but stated that “nothing sexual happened,” according to the memo.

“Subsequently, [the special agent] resigned his employment with the USSS,” the memo states. “However, a few weeks after his resignation, he withdrew his resignation and the USSS reinstated [the special agent's] employment and he was placed on administrative leave.”

Administrative leave allows federal employees to remain on payroll without reporting to work while under investigation for misconduct.

The memo states that investigators in Dallas then interviewed another subject. Though that part of the memo is heavily redacted, the part that is visible says that he had spent the night at the special agent’s home several times “but he slept alone on the couch” and “never had sexual contact” with him.

Asked about the GHB chemical, the subject of the interview said he knew it was the “‘date-rape drug,’ but did not want to comment more about it when asked more probing questions,” the memo states. The subject then said he did see the special agent in question mixing “[redacted]” into a drink and the special agent drank it but “did not know if anyone else did too.”

In late 2012, OIG investigators alerted a Colorado county sheriff’s office “to apprise them [sic] the information in the event the sheriff’s office received any reports or complaints about the [special agent's name redacted] misconduct.”

The local county sheriff’s office said it would then initiate an investigation based on the information it received from the OIG investigators “in order to determine” if the special agent had committed any crimes.

The document was made public after Maria Litman, a Texas woman spent $100,000 in legal fees fighting the DHS for documents related to Secret Service misconduct. She won her court cases, recently receiving 3,900 documents about the Secret Service misbehavior.

In addition, a separate chart of Secret Service misconduct cases obtained by the Examiner, shows what appears to be a second incident of alleged child molestation during the same year, 2012. This case appears to be different than the one involving a special agent and the date-rape drug because the suspect was in the Uniformed Division of the agency, and was not a special agent.

In this case, according to the document, the employee was arrested for “aggravated sexual battery and taking indecent sexual liberties with a child.”

The proposed punishment of the employee was indefinite suspension for failing to maintain a security clearance. In the end he instead “retired in lieu of removal.” Employees who retire rather than resigning or being fired receive federal pensions and benefits

A Secret Service spokeswoman told the Examiner this week that federal privacy laws bar the agency from releasing information about the cases or how or whether the employees left the agency after the allegations were investigated.

Following the publication of this article, she emailed the following statement:

“In October of 2012 the Secret Service was informed that two employees were under investigation by other law enforcement agencies. Upon notification, both employees’ security clearance and access to Secret Service facilities was suspended and they were both placed on administrative leave. Indefinite suspension (leave without pay) was proposed.

The first employee retired On October 31, 2012. The second resigned December 15, 2012. Both actions were just prior to enforcement of the indefinite suspensions. At no time did either employee ‘un-resign.’

Cannon argues that there is information, albeit limited, the agency could release despite privacy laws, including whether the unidentified special agent is still employed and whether he resigned, was fired or retired with benefits, as well as details about whether the investigation found corroborating evidence and how it ended, she said.”

An OIG record of case closures, made public in 2014, refers to a case involving a Colorado special agent accused of using an illegal drug to “seduce and molest” underage children that was opened in Dec. 6 of 2012 and closed on Dec. 13, 2013.

After analyzing the details of the memo about the OIG investigation, Cannon had several questions about how investigators and the Secret Service resolved and closed the case.

She pointed to the Secret Service or DHS decision, as described in the document, to allow the special agent to rescind his resignation and be reinstated as particularly troublesome from a legal perspective.

Her concern about a possible cover-up is “bolstered by the Secret Service decision to return the employee to the federal payroll after he had resigned from service and then placing him on paid leave at…taxpayer expense.”

There is no legal requirement to accept a former employee’s request to return to duty after his resignation, she said.

“There is certainly no reason to do so when the employee is accused of serious criminal activity and will not be returned to active service as an agent,” she added.

Stan Brand, a senior counsel at Akin Gump who specializes in defending witnesses in government investigations, also questioned several aspects of the Secret Service and the OIG’s handling of the case.

The reinstatement of the special agent after he resigned described in the piece was especially “bizarre,” he said.

“He resigned and they let him back [on administrative leave] without anything in the record about how these allegations were resolved…it’s a mystery to me,” Brand said.

Most investigations involving allegations of serious crime are followed by a Report of Investigations, a final summary of what investigators pursued, how it concluded and what disciplinary actions they recommended the Secret Service take against an employee, if any.

Both the Secret Service and OIG are under new leadership since the Colombia prostitution scandal grabbed headlines in 2014 and spurred congressional investigations.

An OIG spokeswoman told the Examiner to submit a FOIA request for the final report, and said she “would be surprised if there wasn’t [a final report] on a closed case.”

The Examiner submitted a FOIA request this week. No one answered when the Examiner called a phone number listed on the website for the OIG office in charge of handling those requests.

Customs and Border Patrol spokesman Anthony Bucci said he would not disclose any information about the date-rape drug discovered at JFK Airport because “internal documents are not releasable and addressee information is protected by the Privacy Act.”

In its broad defense of the Secret Service this week, union President Nathan Catura, said “For several years now, the Secret Service has been put under an unrelenting microscope. A proud agency that does one of the most patriotic duties ‎in the United States has been repeatedly dragged through the refuse pile, in many cases for dubious and uncertain reasons. While we do support the imperative that all law enforcement officers be held to the highest standards, several congressional and Office of Inspector General reports have revealed one glaring fact: the Secret Service is comprised of humans who sometimes err, but isolated mistakes do not undefine the agency’s legacy of honor.”

Catura praised the steps taken by the agency to address misconduct by agents, and calling their work “underappreciated.”

“With all-time staffing lows, they are conducting one of the most dynamic and intensive presidential campaigns in modern history – putting their lives on the line every day with minimal resources thanks to a lack of congressional budget support,” he said.

(CNN)A Navy sailor facing prison time for taking photos of a classified area on a US nuclear attack submarine is asking a federal judge for leniency, citing the government’s decision not to indict Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information.

Petty Officer First Class Kristian Saucier, a 29-year-old mechanic, admitted he used his personal cellphone on three occasions in 2009 to take six pictures of the submarine’s classified propulsion system while working in the engine room, according to court documents.

In a court filing, Saucier’s lawyer compares the half-dozen classified photos Saucier had in his possession to the 110 classified emails the FBI determined were on Hillary Clinton’s personal server.
“Mr. Saucier possessed six (6) photographs classified as ‘confidential/restricted,’ far less than Clinton’s 110 emails,” Derrick Hogan wrote to the US District Court in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in a story first reported by Politico.

Advocating for probation, Hogan said it would be “unjust and unfair” for Saucier — who has pleaded guilty — to do prison time “for a crime those more powerful than him will likely avoid.”

The federal government dismissed the comparison in a court filing Monday and instead asked the judge to sentence Saucier to more than five years behind bars at the sentencing hearing this Friday. The federal sentencing guideline ranges from 63 to 78 months.

“The defendant is grasping at highly imaginative and speculative straws in trying to further draw a comparison to the matter of Sec. Hilary (sic) Clinton based upon virtually no understanding and knowledge of the facts involved, the information at issue, not to mention any issues of intent and knowledge,” the prosecutors said in court papers.
Saucier, who served on the USS Alexandria submarine from September 2007 until March 2012, had a secret security clearance and admitted knowing he was not authorized to take the photos, which depicted classified material.

Still, Saucier’s lawyers claim his reason for taking the photos was benign.

“Mr. Saucier admitted that he knew when he took the pictures in 2009 that they were classified and that he did so out of the misguided desire to keep these pictures in order to one day show his family and his future children what he did while he was in the Navy,” Hogan wrote in a court filing.

Saucier’s conduct is different from Clinton’s email controversy, even his lawyers admit. The former secretary of state has said she did not knowingly send or receive emails that were classified, while Saucier has admitted knowing his conduct was illegal.

FBI Director James Comey, however, said his investigation found that “any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton’s position … should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation” about classified matters. Comey also noted that a small number of the emails did bear markings indicating the presence of classified information, a fact that Saucier’s defense attorneys pointed to.

“I don’t think that we’re grasping at straws,” said Greg Rinckey, one of the defense attorneys representing Saucier. “I think the cases are similar. Are they apples to apples? No, absolutely not. However it’s now been shown that Secretary Clinton sent and received emails that were marked classified at the time contrary to her sworn testimony.”

Millions of Americans, mostly Democrats but a few sourball Republicans, tell pollsters and anyone who doesn’t want to listen that they’re preparing themselves to ignore the stink and shame of Hillary Clinton when they vote in November. They’re advised here to prepare themselves for a protracted season of malaise and buyer’s remorse.

But it’s an ill wind — often of gale force — that blows nobody good, and lawyers for a Navy petty officer charged with doing pretty much what Hillary did with her email lies are expected to argue Friday, at his sentencing in a federal court, to plead for mercy on the grounds that, if its good enough for a well-stuffed goose in a pantsuit, it ought to be good enough for a gander in the uniform of his country.

The petty officer first class, Kristian Saucier, 29, will be sentenced on a charge of retaining “national defense information without permission.” He pleaded guilty to taking six forbidden photographs while on duty aboard the USS Alexandria, a nuclear submarine, which showed parts of the sub’s propulsion system. He knew, he admits, that information about the propulsion system was classified.

His defense lawyer, Derrick Hogan, argued in a filing earlier this year that Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of State and the Democratic nominee for president, “has come under scrutiny for engaging in acts similar to Mr. Saucier[‘s],” he wrote. He reminded the court that a long and expensive investigation by the FBI found that 110 email messages and 52 email “chains” found on Hillary’s private email server — which she used for official business to avoid the email servers that were perfectly satisfactory for other government officials — were classified at the time she sent them — eight “chains” with “top secret” information and 36 messages classified as “secret.”

“In our case,” the lawyer argues, “Mr. Saucier possessed six (6) photographs classified as ‘confidential/restricted,’ far less than [Mrs.] Clinton’s 110 emails. It will be unjust and unfair for Mr. Saucier to receive any sentence other than probation for a crime those more powerful than he will likely avoid.”

There are distinctions between Hillary’s crimes and misdemeanors and Mr. Saucier’s felonies, but they’re distinctions without much difference. He admitted that he knew from “training and his specialized work” on the submarine that he was not supposed to take them, and he admits that he destroyed his laptop computer, camera and a memory card containing the images. Hillary pleaded the defense of the little lady who just didn’t understand all that guy stuff.

She would have batted her eyes at James Comey, the director of the FBI who conducted the investigation, but she never learned how to do that flirty stuff with guys, either. Nor did she know about all that guy stuff at the State Department, but Mr. Comey concluded that secretaries of State are expected to know a lot of guy stuff, and that included the little lady formerly from Little Rock.

Besides, she had batteries of lawyers at hand, all paid by the government, and Mr. Saucier was just a guy.

Mr. Saucier was not accused publicly of spying, or of taking the photographs to sell to nefarious outsiders. Two other sailors aboard the USS Alexandria were cited for taking photographs in classified spaces aboard ship, perhaps for personal souvenirs, and dealt with leniently. This might be more persuasive than establishing a new “Hillary rule.” One of the two other sailors was reduced in rank and fined $560, the other fined $560 with no reduction in rank.

These two men were punished by a Captain’s Mast, which is short of a court-martial and is used for relatively minor infractions. Politico, the Washington political daily, reports that letters submitted from his crewmen on Mr. Saucier’s behalf cite what they call “command climate for junior sailors aboard the sub” and lax policies of that time about electronics for his harsh treatment.

“Kris does not deserve what he is going through,” one of his mates wrote. “If you look at the Navy records you will see countless mishandling classified material cases where many people are still in the Navy and many more people were asked to get out.”

Mr. Saucier could be sentenced to five years and three months in military prison, though his probation officer has recommended a more lenient sentence. The moral of the sad tale is either that Hillary can be glad she’s not in theNavy or that Kris Saucier is unlucky that he didn’t have the FBI on his trail. Life is not fair, as John F. Kennedy famously said, but Hillary wouldn’t agree. She gets so many breaks there just aren’t enough left over for anyone else.

Purple Heart parking spot designated at MiSci in Schenectady

The spot is located outside the MiSci Museum near the entrance and next to the handicap spot.

At the event, Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara also unveiled new legislation, that if passed, would create Purple Heart parking designations across the state.

“There’s a couple purposes for the space,” he said. “To make life a little bit easier for those who have been wounded in combat. It’s also a salute to our veterans. It reminds us every day to remember them.”

Friday’s event fell on Purple Up Day, a national invitation to show appreciation for military children by wearing the color purple.

Proposed legislation would create statewide parking requirements similar to disabled parking law

April 15, 2016 – Albany, N.Y. – Tully Rinckey PLLC Founding Partner and decorated Army Veteran Mathew Tully today backed proposed legislation that would allow veterans injured in the line of duty to have their own designated parking spots at businesses throughout the state.

Caption: Tully Rinckey PLLC Founding Partner and New York State Commander of the Military Order of the Purple Heart Mathew Tully, along with state Assemblyman Angelo Santabarabara, thank miSci Executive Director Mac Sudduth for the museum’s dedication of a designated combat-wounded parking space.

At an event held this morning at the Museum of Innovation and Science in Schenectady, Tully lent his support to new legislation sponsored by State Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara, D-Rotterdam, to make the spaces a requirement for businesses. Today, miSci unveiled a similar parking spot, which staff voluntarily marked as space for combat-wounded drivers with a specially created sign.

“Availability of these new parking spaces is not only an important way to show our appreciation for veterans who gave so much while serving our country; the designated parking can also provide needed relief for those who still suffer from injuries sustained in the armed forces,” said Tully.

Except in cases where small businesses have limited parking, the proposed legislation (A09064) would make it a requirement for businesses to designate parking spaces for use by wounded warriors. Spaces would be marked with a sign, and lined with purple paint. Businesses that would like to voluntarily designate their own parking spaces for wounded veterans may request a sign through the Wounded Warriors Family Support’s Combat Parking initiative.

Grimes from the Electric City Detachment Marine Corps League stand with the new designated parking spot at miSci.

Tully is also advocating for a law similar to one in New Jersey, which would allow all those with a Purple Heart license plate be allowed to park without payment to parking meters. Since elected in October 2014, Tully is the New York State Commander of the Military Order of the Purple Heart.

In addition, the event celebrated Purple Up Day with all participants asked to wear purple in honor of April’s Month of the Military Child.

Tully served in the U.S. Army for nearly 20 years, retiring from the New York Army National Guard at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in 2014. Throughout his military career, he was deployed to Iraq, Egypt and Afghanistan. As a result of his service in the latter, he was awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star Medal resulting from injuries sustained in an improvised explosive device (IED) attack. He was most recently recognized as one of 2015’s most influential and impactful veterans by HillVets, a nonprofit group of bipartisan veterans and supporters empowering veterans to advance in careers following military service.

I spoke to many attorneys who said to me, “Your son will be convicted of the Simple Assault because putting lotion on someone’s face is considered an assault as it is an unwanted touch.” They all wanted me to work on a plea deal with the government that ended with my son being discharged, spending time in the brig and having a federal conviction for the rest of his life.

Then, LITERALLY 2 DAYS BEFORE trail the government added an additional charge, which was Article 134, Unlawful Entry. Mr. Rinckey stayed focused, developed a plan, and off to trail we went. He was so prepared, calm and at ease. I remember him saying to me, “I am ready to try this case.” And yesterday – 14 APR 2016 – my son was found NOT GUILTY on ALL CHARGES AND SPECIFICATIONS!!! Yesss!!! You know, it’s always hard to find money for an attorney, but I learned one thing with this case.
